1999 produced 79,962 bottles of wine made with 85% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Cabernet Franc.
Neglected for a long time due to interest for 2000, 1999 is now revealing itself to be an excellent vintage for Gazin.
The wine’s colour is still intense with dark hints of ink. The nose offers fine notes of red and black fruit, with blackberries, Morello cherries, blackcurrants, and stone fruit, supplemented by aromas of undergrowth, leather, fur, and truffles, with hints of spices (cinnamon).
On the palate, the structure is both fresh and complex. The tannins are well-integrated and harmonious, producing a superb silky finish. However, this wine should always be decanted two to three hours before drinking at ambient temperature. It should be drunk, in 2014, over the next ten years.
An excellent sweet nose of lavish toasty oak intertwined with plums black cherries and currants dominates the olfactory senses. In the mouth this wine is elegant lush flavorful and savory with medium body and no hard edges. Drink it over the next 10-12 years. Source: Wine Advocate
